Xinjiang is the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt, and Macao Special Administrative Region lies on the Maritime Silk Road. This Exhibition happens to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the return of Macao to China. At this Art Exhibition of Murals of Qiuci Grottoes, efforts are made in the field of Belt and Road people-to-people exchange to promote cultural exchanges and dialogue between the two regions. This mural art exhibition shows the emergence, development, flourishing and decline of Qiuci Grottoes art during the 3rd to 14th century from different angles, and also offers abundant proof for specific historical processes, cultural traditions, ethnicity, religions, arts, and development and evolution of folk crafts. In particular, the original and diverse murals become one of the outstanding achievements of Qiuci Grottoes art.
